Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0042] Example:

[0043] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the support components for navigation of the floating dock gate provided in this embodiment include a first bracket and a second bracket. The floating dock gate 100 has a square structure 110 at the bottom and a conical structure 120 at the lower part. It is worth noting that the floating dock gate 100 described in this embodiment is a hydrometer-type floating dock gate.

[0044] The aforementioned first support is equipped with a horizontal positioning rod 200, which extends horizontally. The bottom end of the first support is welded and fixed to the deck of the shipping vessel. The horizontal positioning rod 200 supports and positions the square structure 110 from the side. In practical use, two first supports are used in pairs. In the width direction of the floating dock gate 100, the two pairs of first supports are respectively placed on both sides of the floating dock gate 100, and the horizontal positioning rods 200 of the two first supports abut against the outer wall of the aforementioned square structure 110 from both sides. Of course, along the length direction of the floating dock gate 100, several pairs of first supports need to be arranged on the deck of the shipping vessel.

[0045] The second support is equipped with an inclined support column 600, which extends obliquely. The inclination angle of the inclined support column 600 is related to the inclination angle of the conical surface of the aforementioned conical structure 120. Specifically, the bottom end of the second support is welded and fixed to the deck of the shipping vessel. The inclined support column 600 supports the conical structure 120 from below and is perpendicular to the conical surface of the conical structure 120. In actual use, two second supports are used in pairs. In the width direction of the floating dock gate 100, the two pairs of second supports are respectively placed on both sides of the floating dock gate 100, and the inclined support columns 600 of the two second supports abut against the outer wall of the aforementioned conical structure 120 from below on both sides. Of course, along the length direction of the floating dock gate 100, several pairs of pairs of second supports need to be arranged on the deck of the shipping vessel.

[0046] With the help of the first and second supports, the square structure 110 at the bottom of the floating dock gate 100 and the conical structure 120 at the bottom are steadily supported on the deck of the shipping vessel to ensure the stability of the floating dock gate 100 on the deck of the shipping vessel during shipping.

[0047] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The first support includes a column 300 and a diagonal brace 400. The bottom end of the column 300 is welded and fixed to the deck of the shipping vessel, and the diagonal brace 400 is welded and fixed between the column 300 and the deck of the shipping vessel, thereby making the column 300 more securely connected to the deck of the shipping vessel. The horizontal positioning rod 200 is an adjustable telescopic rod, and the horizontal positioning rod 200 is equipped with a locking mechanism for locking its length. When the locking mechanism is locked, the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 is fixed; when the locking mechanism is unlocked, the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 is adjustable. The fixed end of the horizontal positioning rod 200 is welded and fixed to the upper outer wall of the column 300, and the diagonal brace 400 and the horizontal positioning rod 200 are located on both sides of the column 300.

[0048] In this way, before the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck of the shipping vessel, the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 can be adjusted to the shortest possible length so that the distance between the two horizontal positioning rods 200 of the paired first bracket is maximized. This facilitates the placement of the square structure 110 of the floating dock gate 100 between the paired first brackets. After the floating dock gate 100 is placed between the two paired first brackets, the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 is adjusted so that the free end of the horizontal positioning rod 200 presses against the square structure 110 of the floating dock gate 100.

[0049] In fact, the aforementioned column 300 and diagonal brace 230 form a mounting frame for suspending the horizontal positioning rod 200 in mid-air. Of course, this mounting frame can also be any other type of frame, as long as it can suspend the horizontal positioning column on the deck of the shipping vessel. Furthermore, the aforementioned horizontal positioning rod 200 can also be a solid rod with a fixed length; this embodiment uses a horizontal positioning rod with an adjustable length as an example for explanation.

[0050] Optionally, the aforementioned horizontal positioning rod 200 includes a square tube 210 and a square post 220, wherein:

[0051] One end of the square tube 210 is welded and fixed to the column 300. The square column 220 is slidably inserted into the square tube 210. A first flat plate 221 is welded to the end of the square column 220 away from the column 300. A first wooden block 222 is glued and fixed to the side of the first flat plate 221 away from the square column 220. The first wooden block 222 is used to abut against the outer wall of the square structure 110. In this way, the first wooden block 222 can prevent the outer wall of the square structure 110 from directly contacting the hard first flat plate 221, thereby protecting the square structure 110. A locking mechanism is installed between the square column 220 and the square tube 210. When the locking mechanism is unlocked, the square column 220 can slide relative to the square tube 210. When the locking mechanism is locked, the square column 220 cannot slide in the square tube 210. Thus, the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the square column 220 extending into the square tube 210.

[0052] The square tube 210 mentioned above is for mechanical length adjustment. Of course, the square tube 210 can also be a device that can be electrically adjusted in length, such as an electric telescopic rod.

[0053] Optionally, the locking mechanism described above includes a support rod 230, a stud 240, and a nut 250, wherein:

[0054] A sloping groove 231 is provided in the middle of one end of the strut 230, and a through groove 232 is provided in the middle of the other end. A sloping block 211 is welded to the top surface of the end of the square tube 210 away from the column 300. The sloping block 211 is slidably inserted into the sloping groove 231. A vertical block 223 connected to the outer wall of the square column 220 is welded to the first flat plate 221. The vertical block 223 is slidably inserted into the through groove 232 so that the strut 230 can only slide up and down. One end of the stud 240 is fixed to the outer wall of the square column 220 and located below the end of the square column 220 near the column 300. A long through hole is provided in the bottom wall of the square tube 210. The stud 240 is slidably inserted into the long through hole and extends out of the square tube 210. The nut 250 is screwed to the stud 240 and is located below the square tube 210. In addition, a washer can be placed between the nut 250 and the bottom surface of the square tube 210.

[0055] Before the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck of the shipping vessel, the aforementioned support rod 230 is removed and the nut 250 is loosened, thereby unlocking the aforementioned locking mechanism. At this time, the aforementioned square column 220 can be slid so that the square column 220 extends into the deepest position of the square tube 210. After the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck of the shipping vessel, the square column 220 is pulled out. Then, the support rod 230 is clamped from top to bottom onto the inclined block 211 and the vertical block 223. Pressing the support rod 230 downwards causes it to move away from the square tube 210 due to the cooperation between the inclined block 211 and the inclined groove 231. This pushes the first plate 221 away from the square tube 210, thereby extending the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 until the first wooden block 222 on the first plate 221 is firmly against the outer wall of the square structure 110 at the bottom of the floating dock gate 100. Then, the nut 250 is tightened, thus fixing the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200. The paired first brackets then clamp the square structure 110. The support rod 230 further enhances the stability of the first brackets for the square structure 110.

[0056] Of course, the locking mechanism described above can also be a locking bolt. In this case, a threaded through hole is opened in the square tube 210, and the locking bolt is screwed into the threaded through hole. When locking, the locking bolt presses the square column 220 against the square tube 210.

[0057] More preferably, in order to enhance the connection strength between the inclined block 211 and the square tube 210, in this embodiment, a connecting frame 212 is welded between the top surface of the inclined block 211 and the square tube 210. The connecting frame 212 is used to strengthen the connection strength of the inclined block 211 on the square tube 210. In this way, the inclined block 211 can be prevented from breaking and falling off on the square tube 210 during use.

[0058] To further enhance the structural strength of the first support mentioned above, in this embodiment, several reinforcing bars 500 are welded between the outer wall of the square tube 210, the outer wall of the column 300, and the outer wall of the diagonal support column 400. The reinforcing bars 500 are used to strengthen the connection strength between the column 300 and the square tube 210 and the diagonal support column 400.

[0059] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The second support mentioned above includes a base 700, a support leg 800, and a second flat plate 900, wherein:

[0060] The base 700 is welded and fixed to the deck of the shipping vessel. The bottom end of the inclined support column 600 is hinged to the base 700 via a first hinge shaft 610. Specifically, a first hinge seat is provided on the base 700, and a first hinge joint is provided at the bottom end of the inclined support column 600. The first hinge joint is hinged to the first hinge seat via the first hinge shaft 610. The support leg 800 is connected to the middle of the inclined support column 600, and the support leg 800 stands between the deck of the shipping vessel and the inclined support column 600. Of course, this is the case when the second bracket supports the aforementioned conical structure 120.

[0061] The second plate 900 is hinged to the top of the inclined support column 600 via a second hinge shaft 910. The second hinge shaft 910 and the first hinge shaft 610 are arranged in parallel, and the axial directions of both the first hinge shaft 610 and the second hinge shaft 910 are in the horizontal direction. Specifically, a second hinge seat is provided on the second plate 900, and a second hinge joint is provided at the top of the inclined support column 600. The second hinge seat and the second hinge joint are hinged via the second hinge shaft 910.

[0062] A second timber 920 is glued and fixed to the side of the second plate 900 facing away from the inclined support column 600. The second timber 920 is used to abut against the conical surface of the conical structure 120. In this way, the second timber 920 can prevent the conical structure 120 of the floating dock gate 100 from directly contacting the hard second plate 900, thereby protecting the conical structure 120. The side surface of the second timber 920 facing away from the second plane is parallel to and fits against the conical surface of the conical structure 120.

[0063] With the above structure, when the floating dock gate 100 is not hoisted onto the deck of the shipping vessel, the inclined support column 600 is rotated to a horizontal position. In this case, the support leg 800 is not supported between the inclined support column 600 and the deck of the shipping vessel, causing the inclined support columns 600 of the paired second brackets to move away from each other, thus increasing the distance between the two inclined support columns 600. This makes it easier to hoist the floating dock gate 100 between the two second brackets. After the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck of the shipping vessel and positioned using the first bracket, the inclined support column 600 of the second bracket is rotated to an inclined position, causing the second wooden block 920 at the free end of the inclined support column 600 to abut against the outer wall of the conical structure 120. In this case, the support leg 800 is supported between the inclined support column 600 and the deck of the shipping vessel. The hinged second plate 900 allows the second bracket to be used more flexibly.

[0064] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, a scale can be set on the outer wall of the square column 220 of the first support to facilitate knowing the length of the horizontal positioning rod 200 of each first support. Ideally, after the floating dock gate 100 is installed on the deck, the lengths of the horizontal positioning rods 200 of all the first supports are the same, that is, the floating dock gate 100 is located in the middle position between the two first supports and the two second supports used in pairs.

[0065] Of course, the bottom end of the aforementioned inclined support column 600 can also be welded and fixed to the aforementioned base 700, and the aforementioned second plate 900 can also be welded and fixed to the top end of the aforementioned inclined support column 600.

[0066] More preferably, a sliding sleeve 810 is slidably fitted onto the inclined support column 600, and one end of the support leg 800 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 810 via a third hinge shaft 820. The third hinge shaft 820 is parallel to the first hinge shaft 610. Specifically, one end of the support leg 800 is provided with a third hinge joint, and the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 810 is provided with a third hinge seat. The third hinge joint is hinged to the third hinge seat via the third hinge shaft 820. This makes the second bracket more flexible in use.

[0067] An enlarged connecting plate 830 is welded to the free end of the inclined support column 600. The enlarged connecting plate 830 is used to connect with the deck of the shipping vessel. Specifically, before the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck, the aforementioned enlarged connecting plate 830 is not connected to the deck of the shipping vessel. When the floating dock gate 100 is hoisted onto the deck and the inclined support column 600 of the second bracket is rotated to support the outer wall of the conical structure, the support leg 800 is then erected between the inclined support column 600 and the deck. In this case, the aforementioned enlarged connecting plate 830 needs to be welded and fixed to the deck.

[0068] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
